Syntax
public class RichTextTool : RectangleToolBase, IDisposable
Remarks

This tool manages the insertion of new rich text nodes into a diagram and editing of existing rich text nodes. Activating this tool causes it to track mouse down, mouse move, and mouse up events and draw a tracking rectangle. The rectangle drawn is used as the bounds of a new rich text node, which is inserted into the diagram using an InsertNodesCmd.

This tool also listens for double-click events. If the user double clicks on a rich text node, this tool opens a text editor allowing the user to edit the text.
